Old Growth

Sitting amongst the relatively young trees sits a massive giant old growth tree. My hubby and I were roaming the DNR trails on Sumas Mountain and this huge tree really pops out. No idea why the loggers so many years ago spared it, but I am so happy they did. We estimated the diameter to be at least 10 feet and I could only sort of guess its height, maybe 300 hundred feet. A very vague estimate on this tree's age may be 250 years old. More info on old growth in Washington State is here.﻿
